Are you looking to increase the value of your home? You may be surprised to hear that increasing the value of your home is easily achieved and can be done in several ways – a lot of the solutions come down to the budget you have.
On a very high budget, you look into custom home projects, on a high budget you can convert one of your rooms, such as a garage into a bedroom, on a medium budget you renovate your kitchen and on a lower budget you can improve your garden appeal.
Below we have put together our guide on ways to increase the value of your home – we hope our suggestions give you some inspiration.
Convert your loft
Often property owners will convert one of their unused and low priority rooms in order to increase the value of their home. When we say low priority or unused rooms, we mean converting their garage into a lounge or their loft into a bedroom. Taking your loft as an example, converting that space into an additional bedroom enables you to sell your house as a 3 bed instead of a 2 bed or 4 bed instead of a 3 bed – instantly you can see how that adds value to your property.
Improve your garden appeal
So many times you’ll see a property on the market where the garden has been neglected but the home interiors look amazing! Not only does this make it harder to sell a home but it also devalues your property. Looking after your garden is just as important as the inside of your home. You want to make sure your fences have been nicely painted, your lawn mowed, shed well built and that your paving has been pressure washed as a couple of examples. If you want to see a stylish garden for inspiration, Pinterest is the place to look. Instagram is also a great place if you aren’t finding good enough examples on Pinterest.
Kitchen renovation
When was the last time you updated your kitchen? For a lot of people, they have moved into their home and never improved their kitchen. Not only is this potentially hurting the aesthetics, but it also reduces the value. Replacing your kitchen doesn’t have to be expensive, in fact you can do it on a low budget if you are planning to just renovate and then sell? Why not visit your local warehouse store and get them to price it up for you?
As you can see there are so many ways to increase the value of your home, the above are just three of many. For more inspiration, have a quick Google and remember you don’t have to make the one change, you could combine the different solutions to add even more value.
